Israeli military movements in the Red Sea … anxiety with Egypt and international navigation security

The recent Israeli military moves in the Red Sea raised questions about the extent of its direct threat to Egyptian national security, especially with the escalation of regional tensions and the continued Houthi attacks on international navigation in the Red Sea and Bab al -Mandab.
The Israeli army spokesman explained that these moves come within the framework of “protecting global trade routes”, stressing that maritime maneuvers aim to enhance the readiness of the Israeli navy in the face of any possible threats, noting that Tel Aviv considers its military presence in the Red Sea as part of the protection of its national security in light of the escalation of attacks on the ships associated with it. In their aspect, Cairo stressed the danger of these moves, where the expert in security and national affairs affirmed Dr. Ahmed Al -Shahat on “Sky News Arabia”, that any increasing Israeli military presence in the Red Sea represents a direct challenge to Egyptian national security, stressing that the Red Sea is a strategic depth for Egypt and a red line that cannot be exceeded. He added that such movements may re -“confuse the papers” and put the Egyptian government in front of new accounts related to the security of the Suez Canal and the vital marine corridors. Observers believe that the Israeli moves come within the race of regional and international influence in the Red Sea, where the interests of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the United States intersect, at a time when the Houthis continue to target or associated Israeli ships, which turns the Red Sea into an indirect confrontation arena between the parties to the conflict The regional. The developments indicate that the region is witnessing an sensitive escalation that reflects the security and strategic complications in the Red Sea, and increases the need for continuous monitoring and analysis of regional and international balances in it.
